CAMBODIA | DAYS 13-15

Angkor Wat

Explore Cambodia’s pride and joy, Angkor Wat, with
an expert eager to share the history and symbolism of
the world’s largest religious monument, once a Hindu
sanctuary until changing hands to become the Buddhist
temple it is today. Continue your adventure to Angkor
Thom, the last capital and fortified city of the Khmer
empire, and Bayon, to learn about the 54 Gothic towers
that are decorated with 216 giant smiling faces, a true
reflection of Cambodia’s welcoming culture. Discover
Banteay Srei, a pink, 10th-century temple dedicated to
the Hindu god Shiva, to study some of the best-preserved
carvings of all Angkor monuments.

I spent four years researching the best way to get to the
Angkor temple complex. This program far exceeded my
“wants.” We were immersed in the beauty and serenity
of nature, and each day was full of unique experiences.
